Conformal Structures Associated to Generic Rank 2 Distributions on 5-Manifolds – Characterization and Killing-Field Decomposition
Given a maximally non-integrable 2-distribution D on a 5-manifold M, it was discovered by P. Nurowski that one can naturally associate a conformal structure [g]_D of signature (2,3) on M. We show that those conformal structures [g]_D which come about by this construction are characterized by the exi...
